Elitist Bitch posted:I realize this might be unpopular to say but I don't understand the whole Randy Johnson thing. He's a great pitcher but he is in the HoF in a Diamondbacks hat, I think it's vaguely disrespectful to Ichiro to ask him to share that honor with someone who accomplished the bulk of their career achievements on other teams. You're underselling how drat good Johnson was with the M's. World Series and 4 straight Cy Young awards with Arizona sealed the deal for the HOF plaque, but he was loving insane for a while with the M's. In a five year stretch he went 2nd, 3rd, 1st, injured for a season, 2nd in Cy Young voting while a Mariner. He WAS their pitching staff more or less. First M's no hitter, driving force to making the playoffs the first time, best pitcher they've ever had (Sorry, Felix.) I get your point, but don't think it's remotely disrespectful. As good as Ichiro is, Johnson is easily a top 10 pitcher ever. Likely top 5. They'd have retired 51 already if it weren't for Ichiro. Doing a dual ceremony makes perfect sense.
